We believe that our entire offense is complementary. Whether it be, you know, running to set up the pass or throwing to set up the run game for us. . . But we’re going to be consistent, we’re going to stay balanced. And I think Sark did an excellent job today of staying with it when we needed to.

It’s fair for Ryan to give some credit to offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, especially with as much heat as Sark has taken for this team’s offensive sluggishness. Even losing starting running back Devonta Freeman to a concussion early didn’t stop Atlanta from running the ball well and taking shots downfield.

There’s plenty to feel good about for the Falcons after playing dominant football for the first time since Week 2. It’s just one game, but it couldn’t have been more important.
